Parsing a secure page for data

Here is the scenario:

The data that needs to parsed is on an asp page secured by a login
form. I have access to the site, but I was wondering how one would go
about writing a script that would automatically access the page and
grab the HTML.

Garbing the HTML then parsing the information I understand. I just
don't know if its possible to access the data through an external
script (run from another server) even though we have access rights to
the page requiring login that is situated on another server.

The reason for this is because we don't have direct access to the
database.

Thanks,
Stiki

You would need to fulfill all of the following conditions to do it
client-side from within the sandbox:

- use the same protocol
- be on the same second-level domain
- use the same port
- have (I)XMLHttpReque st support

Hi, I'm trying to create a perl script that will log into a website (the login form uses POST), navigate to several pages, and append the (html) content parsed from those pages to a seperate log file.

The site was developed using ASP.NET, VB.NET, and Crystal Reports...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
